An Intelligent Mobile Application to Assist in Detecting Metals in Fish and Seafood using Machine Learning and Object Detection

The fish we eat everyday may well likely contain heavy metals, which are detrimental for one’s health [1]. There are many solutions out there, such as machines and sensors that could detect the amounts of metals in a fish, but for the average person, these solutions are not the most convenient. My app, however, is an easy and convenient way to figure out if your fish has metals. All you need to do is take a picture of your fish and the app will use an AI system to inform you about the levels of metals in the fish and some tips and facts on how to cook the fish. I experimented with the AI accuracy and the accessibility of my app. I can say that the AI is quite accurate and my app is accessible to all IOS devices [2]. Ultimately, my app should be used by everyone because it’s quick, easy to use and access, and doesn’t require any professional knowledge about fish.
